PS - I agree the bride should take priority in placement, but I'd have still taken that shot as the symmetry is good, but I'd have also taken another with her in the front. Ultimately were they pleased with them?

shooting a wedding is fun it can be a bit stressful at times, i'm a young photographer so nobody listens to me or takes me serious. i figured out i could tell the bride and groom what i wanted to do and everyone listens to them. i got the job because of a mutual friend we share.
